A methodology for the selection, assessment and analysis of successful experiences

Abstract

Embedded systems and industrial informatics represent two areas with significant research results of quite high added value. Transformation of such results into innovative products and services increases competitiveness and represents, through the enhancement of the citizens' quality of life, a pay back to the society of research funds. This transformation has not been always straightforward. Learning from successful experiences is important. The present work elaborates a methodology for the selection, assessment and analysis of successful experiences related to this transformation of research to innovation. © 2012 IFAC.
